Maybe  I'm just blind,
or slow, but the speed the majority of these dogs were  doing, really does
nothing to enhance and showcase that elastic, athletic,  outreaching
suspending sidegait which has hallmarked our breed for over 100  years - and
those handlers who insist on trying to "fool" everyone with the  tight leads
- better remember - they don't always end their rounds on a  tight lead 


I like what she said about the national, but those who watched the  video 
knows that every judge insisted at one point on a loose lead and slow. A  lot 
of animals were removed from consideration at that point, and a lot were  
moved up.  It is true that at times they were wound a bit tight, but each  
judge, and especially Dave, got to see every one slow and loose.
 
I was sitting about 40 feet from the ring and four feet up in the air. I  
saw a lot of slow presentations on loose leads.  You don't have to see it  
long to know what you have.
 
The Special class was the best I have ever seen, and the judging was right  
on.  Dave thinks we are going to let him off the hook in three years. I do  
not intend to let that happen. We need someone who can truly evaluate the 
breed,  and show us all what we should know by now.
